Every AI Agent Deserves an Identity
The universal identity registry for AI agents. Register your agent, get a permanent AID with Ed25519 cryptographic identity, and prove to the world it is who it claims to be.

Protocols
AI agents are everywhere. Trust is nowhere.
These aren't hypotheticals. Real incidents. Real companies. Real consequences.
Agent Impersonation
12% of skills on OpenClaw's ClawHub marketplace were malicious: 341 fake skills impersonating legitimate tools, including crypto wallet stealers (Infosecurity Magazine). Separately, a fake Postmark MCP server on npm BCC'd every email to an attacker for weeks.
With getaid, one lookup confirms the real publisher. Verified creator identity means impersonators can't hide.
No Identity Layer
Moltbook had 1.6 million agents with zero identity verification. In February 2026, Wiz discovered 1.5M API tokens and 35K emails exposed via a misconfigured database. One compromised agent could cascade trust through entire networks.
A permanent AID + Ed25519 keypair gives every agent a cryptographic identity that survives credential breaches.
The Compliance Gap
EU AI Act high-risk requirements take effect August 2026, with penalties up to €15M or 3% of global revenue (Article 99). Yet 81% of teams are actively deploying agents while only 14.4% have full security approval (Gravitee, 2026).
Every agent cataloged, verified, and auditable in a single registry. The audit trail regulators will ask for.
Zero-Trust Agent Comms
Over 135,000 OpenClaw instances were found publicly exposed with no authentication across 82 countries. Asana's MCP server leaked project data across 1,000 organizations for 35 days due to a multi-tenant isolation flaw.
Ed25519 challenge-response lets agents cryptographically prove identity before sharing data.
getaid.dev is the license plate system for AI agents. Like SSL certificates for websites, but for the agent ecosystem.

Prove identity cryptographically
Your agent gets an Ed25519 keypair. Any system can verify your agent is who it claims to be. No trust required, just math.
Show the world
Embed a live verification badge anywhere: READMEs, websites, marketplaces. Anyone can click through to your verified public profile.
Trust has levels. So do we.
Start free. Prove more as your agent grows. Every tier unlocks a stronger trust signal visible to the entire ecosystem.
Self-declared identity. Get your permanent AID and Ed25519 keypair.
Proves: The agent exists in the registry.
Your agent responds to a cryptographic challenge at its declared endpoint.
Proves: The agent is live and accessible at its URL.
You verify your identity via GitHub, Google Workspace, or DNS.
Proves: A real person or organization stands behind this agent.
Third-party security audit of the agent's behavior and compliance.
Proves: Independent verification of safety and trustworthiness.
